Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method for performing, by a user equipment (UE), a redistribution procedure in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving redistribution factors from a network; determining at least one valid redistribution factor among the redistribution factors; obtaining at least one redistribution range, by dividing the at least one valid redistribution factor by a sum of the at least one valid redistribution factor; and performing the redistribution procedure, based on the at least one redistribution range, wherein the at least one valid redistribution factor is a redistribution probability value of a frequency or a cell valid for the UE.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the redistribution factors are received via a system information block (SIB).
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: receiving, by the UE, a frequency list from the network.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the frequency list is received via an SIB.
5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the redistribution range is obtained when a frequency valid for the UE is different from a frequency included in the frequency list.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE is in an RRC_IDLE mode.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the redistribution range is obtained based on the following equation: Redistribution range [ i ] = Valid redistribution factor [ i ] ∑ j = 0 j = Total number of frequencies with valid redistribution factor - 1 Valid redistribution factor [ j ] .
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the redistribution factors are a redistribution probability value per frequency for load balancing.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the redistribution procedure is performed on frequencies valid for the UE.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the redistribution range is obtained based on the following equation: Redistribution range [ i ] = Valid redistribution factor [ i ] ∑ j = 0 j = Total number of cells with valid redistribution factor - 1 Valid redistribution factor [ j ] .
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the redistribution factors are a redistribution probability value per cell for load balancing.
12. A user equipment (UE) for performing a redistribution procedure in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising: at least one memory; at least one transceiver; and at least one processor, operably coupled to connect the memory and the transceiver, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: control the at least one transceiver to receive redistribution factors from a network; determine at least one valid redistribution factor among the redistribution factors; obtain at least one redistribution range, by dividing the at least one valid redistribution factor by a sum of the at least one valid redistribution factor; and perform the redistribution procedure, based on the at least one redistribution range, wherein the at least one valid redistribution factor is a redistribution probability value of a frequency or a cell valid for the UE.
13. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the redistribution factors are received via a system information block (SIB).
14. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: control the at least one transceiver to receive a frequency list from the network.
15. The UE of claim 14 , wherein the frequency list is received via an SIB.
16. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the redistribution range is obtained based on the following equation: Redistribution range [ i ] = Valid redistribution factor [ i ] ∑ j = 0 j = Total number of frequencies with valid redistribution factor - 1 Valid redistribution factor [ j ] .
17. The UE of claim 16 , wherein the redistribution factors are a redistribution probability value per frequency for load balancing.
18. The UE of claim 17 , wherein the redistribution procedure is performed on frequencies valid for the UE.
19. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the redistribution range is obtained based on the following equation: Redistribution range [ i ] = Valid redistribution factor [ i ] ∑ j = 0 j = Total number of cells with valid redistribution factor - 1 Valid redistribution factor [ j ] .
20. The UE of claim 19 , wherein the redistribution factors are a redistribution probability value per cell for load balancing.
